Every year or so I try one or more privacy focused keyboards. I always end up right back on SwiftKey after a couple of weeks because most of the keyboards I try have the same problem: the predictions suck.

Ok, I get that surveillance is good for predictions. Put another way, predictions are tough without collecting everything everyone types. Is there a best-of-both-worlds keyboard out there? I’d be patient enough to give it some time to learn how I type and get better.

I assume you must’ve tried openboard. What issues did you have with it? The predictions have been more than satisfactory in my experience.

I have OpenBoard too and the predictions suck for me. What do you do that makes it not suck for you?
